whoa

this goes down as one of the most epic sigs ever imo

Thank you, FF.

Nan's sig! From the previous Secret Santa event!: show
Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

Excellent stuff, sir. I completely agree with MoD. You have a hell of a lot of talent.

You had asked for advice on textures, and in fact that is one of the things I love playing with the most in the photo-editing programs like GIMP. I would say that Render Difference Clouds is one of the most fun to play with. You can sit there and do it over and over again, and create some really funky looking stuff, including wispy/stringy stuff, and some quite good looking cloudforms, after a few rounds. I also enjoy playing with the pixellize variants. If you can get a good Mosaic or Stained Glass (Photoshop's Crystallize is particularly good), you can play with applying that multiple times, and seeing what that does to a picture. I've also made good looking clouds with that method as well (especially if you combine the two - the crystallize gives it that wrinkly/complex look that the regular filter doesn't give).

Great for fire is doing a Generate Noise, hue switching it to reds and yellows, and then taking the smudge tool and streaking the heck out of it (go all in one direction, though, like left to right, and give it some wiggle while you do it). Rotate it so the smudges go up, and you can make some really good looking fire. Generate Noise can spice up the clouds and pixellates too, especially if you put it on it's own layer and make it 80% transparent for a very subtle effect. Great for giving that "gritty, realistic look" to things.

Anyways. I'll stop babbling, and let you get back to being awesome.

I see Goldy has a new sig. It's amazing. Good job FrozenFire :D ! I found out you haven't add his sig here in this topic.
Why you should be afraid of the death?!
